Choosing a Jewish Life

by Anita Diamant

Choosing a Jewish Life Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Married to a convert herself, Anita Diamant provides advice and information that can transform the act of conversion into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Here you will learn how to choose a rabbi, a synagogue, a denomination, a Hebrew name; how to handle the difficulty of putting aside Christmas; what happens at the mikvah (ritual bath) or at a hatafat dam brit (circumcision ritual for those already circumcised); how to find your footing in a new spiritual family that is not always well prepared to receive you; and how not to lose your bonds to your family of origin. Diamant anticipates all the questions, doubts, and concerns, and provides a comprehensive explanation of the rules and rituals of conversion.

Synopsis:

People converting to Judaism will find this a helpful handbook for themselves, their families, and friends. Married to a convert herself, Diamant anticipates all the questions, doubts, and concerns, and provides a comprehensive explanation of the rules and rituals of conversion, and offers practical guidance toward creating a Jewish identity. 320 pp.
